Temporary Crane Rigger Jobs (NOW HIRING)

EPS Corporation is seeking a safety-conscious and highly detail-oriented Rigger to oversee the preparation, balancing, and movement of heavy loads across our worksite. In this role, you will select the appropriate rigging hardware, attach loads securely to lifting machinery, inspect gear for safety violations, and guide operators through complex maneuvers. The ideal candidate must possess excellent spatial awareness, solid mathematical capabilities for calculating load distribution, and an unwavering commitment to safety regulations.Key Responsibilities Load Assessment: Evaluate the weight, size, shape, and center of gravity of items to determine the safest and most efficient lifting procedures

Gear Selection & Assembly: Select and prepare appropriate rigging gear, including wire ropes, chains, slings, shackles, hoists, pulleys, and spreader bars. Load Securing: Securely hitch, tie, or hook loads to cranes, winches, or derricks using padding on sharp edges to ensure stability during transport. Equipment Inspection: Thoroughly inspect all lifting tools, hardware, and safety lines before and after every use to detect wear, stress, or structural defects.

Signaling & Communication: Direct crane operators and heavy machinery drivers using precise hand signals or clear radio communication to safely maneuver loads through tight or elevated spaces. Site Setup & Teardown: Assist in erecting, leveling, anchoring, and dismantling mobile cranes, temporary platforms, scaffolding, or booms. Safety Compliance: Strictly adhere to company protocols alongside state and OSHA health and safety regulations to eliminate workplace hazards.

Required Skills & Aptitudes Spatial & Mechanical Aptitude: Strong depth perception and spatial awareness to visualize how massive components will navigate physical site constraints. Mathematical Skills: Proficient in calculating load distributions, weight capacities, and angles of lift to prevent equipment failure. Physical Stamina: Capable of standing, bending, performing heavy manual labor, and lifting up to 50 lbs regularly in varying, demanding weather conditions.

Comfort with Heights: Confident working safely at significant elevations, such as atop structural steel framing or towers. Strong Teamwork: Excellent communication skills to work fluidly in coordination with lift supervisors, signalpersons, and multi-disciplinary crews. Qualifications & Experience High school diploma, GED, or equivalent vocational training.

NCCO Certification: Minimum Level 1 Crane Rigger Certification Minimum of 2-3 years of proven field experience working directly with heavy rigging equipment in industries like construction, manufacturing, shipyards, or mining. In-depth understanding of OSHA safety standards and high-risk work compliance.Key Responsibilities Load Assessment: Evaluate the weight, size, shape, and center of gravity of items to determine the safest and most efficient lifting procedures.
